On April 10, Yu Qiuhei led 400 soldiers and 20 cavalrymen from Kuroda Castle and began to go south to Sanhe. He was accompanied by Tadao Honda and Ryuko as escorts. Although the latter was a 13-year-old girl, he didn't know why he was particularly interested in military affairs and must serve as Yu Qiuhei's guard. Yu Qiuhei couldn't resist her, so he agreed to be Tadao Honda's deputy.
This time, Yuqiu's amazing marching speed shocked the entire Ozaka again. Yuqiuhei did not ask Oda Nobunaga to wait for him in Qingzhou Castle, but asked the auxiliary soldiers to go directly to the Kuno Castle to wait for him, and said that we would arrive today! This request caused an uproar in the military camp at the foot of Komaki Mountain at that time. Shibata Katsuya and others were very angry at Yuqiuhei's arrogance. Oda Nobunaga also sent the auxiliary soldiers directly from Qingzhou Castle to the Kuno Castle with the mentality of watching the fun.
However, to everyone's surprise, one day on April 10, Yu Qiuping led Chang Panbei to march 80 miles a day half an hour before sunset, and arrived at the ancient Ye City - even entering the city earlier than the auxiliary troops departing from Qingzhou City. The next day, the name of Shenxing Chang Pan immediately resounded throughout the entire Houzhang.

In the early morning of April 11, Yu Qiuping woke up from his sleep. Chang Panbei was temporarily stationed in the barracks outside the city of Guye City. Yu Qiuping felt a little thirsty. Although it was not time to get up, he struggled to get up from the comfortable bed and go to find some water to drink.
As soon as he walked out of his bedroom, he saw two small figures practicing sword skills in the open space in the center of the barracks. Yu Qiuping looked carefully and found that it was Honda Tada and Ryuko. Every time Honda Tada Tada made an action, Ryuko immediately imitated it seriously. Although his strength and speed were far less than Honda Tada Tada, it was also interesting.
"I got up so early to practice," Yu Qiuping waved to them and walked over, "Don't you have a little more rest?"
"I have to hurry up today," Honda Tadao answered Yu Qiupi, but he didn't dare to neglect the movements in his hands. "If you don't practice in the morning, you will have no time."
"It doesn't matter if you don't practice for a day. It will be very tiring to travel today," Yu Qiuping smiled.
"It's not OK to practice for a day." Honda Tadao shook his head firmly, "If you don't practice for these starting steps, you will get your hands on them if you don't practice for a day."
Yu Qiuping looked at Honda Tadao's hardworking look and smiled helplessly. Yes, he has always been so hardworking, so he is so powerful. He turned his eyes to Longzi, the girl with a ponytail, "Longzi, why are you working so hard! Didn't you sleep in with your wife before!"
Imakawa Kaede really loves to sleep in. Every time he slept until midnight, he would not wake up, which made Yu Qiuping feel lightly when he got up to avoid waking her up. When Yu Qiuping was out of the battle, Ryuko quickly developed this bad habit and often slept with Imakawa Kaede for breakfast.
"Brother Guonosuke will be back to Sanhe in a few days!" Longzi whispered reluctantly, "I want to learn more and more skills, so Longzi will protect His Highness from now on."
As soon as Longzi opened his mouth, Yu Qiusheng realized it. Honda Tadao said before that he would return to Matsue's house in the next year, the sixth year of Yonglu. This trip Yu Qiusheng happened to come to Sanhe, so I guess Honda Tada would have parted with him.
"When the time comes, I will hold a banquet for you, and my brothers are all here," Yu Qiuping tried hard to squeeze out a smile at Tadao Honda and said, "Thank you for your contribution to Yu Qiu's family over the past few years. If you want, I can also give you a piece of red leaf."
When Chang Pan was about to expand his enrollment, Yu Qiuping still retained the tradition of the past and personally folded 200 red paper leaves to send them to the new subordinates. Among the old subordinates, many of the red paper leaves were damaged, and they were also asked Yu Qiuping to exchange for new ones.
"No need, Your Highness," Honda Tadao shook his head, "I'm the retainer of the Matsue family, and I won't wear the red leaves of Takababa."
"That's really a pity," Yu Qiuping said softly with some embarrassment.
"And, I probably won't go back this time." Tadao Honda responded while practicing the starting move meticulously.
"Ah?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and a trace of secret joy flashed in his heart, "Why don't you leave?"
"Many of the tribesmen in Shimo have participated in the rebellion of Yikki," Honda Tadao whispered unconsciously: "The tribesmen in the family wrote a letter to say that His Highness Matsuhei is very suspicious of the Honda family now, and it is not the time to go back now."
Yu Qiuhei suddenly realized! In history, Tokugawa Ieyasu's famous military advisor, Honda Masato, was a devout believer of the Sect. It seemed that he joined the Honanji in this battle and opposed the Masato family. Many of the tribesmen of the Hondo family also responded and left the Masato family. This made Hondo family's position very embarrassing and suspicious of the main family.
"Then let's wait until this sacred thing is over," Yu Qiuhei comforted: "Wait until His Highness Matsuhira forgives those rebellious tribe members, Guonosuke will go back."

On April 11, the army continued to set off. However, with the auxiliary soldiers carrying food and armor and supplies, the team's speed could not help but slow down. Yu Qiuping rode on the white horse pipa presented by Nagamasa Asai, rhythmically tapped the sword sheath of the samurai sword with his index fingers. Listening to the pleasant sound, his thoughts floated far away.
Although Chang Panbei is known as a god, it is impossible to leave the auxiliary soldiers alone when he comes to the battlefield. It is not necessarily true that he cooks, chops wood, sets up camps, transports supplies, and other things. He will be exhausted if he doesn't wait for others to fight.
However, if the auxiliary troops were brought with them, Chang Panbei's marching speed would be dragged down. Only by implementing high-speed tactical maneuvers on the battlefield would it be impossible to achieve rapid marching at the strategic level.
Unless I even provide support for the auxiliary soldiers to become a full-time employee? Let them receive strict training together and create strict discipline so that they can keep up with the speed of the soldiers?
But this obviously requires a lot of money! Will you agree that I will provide special support to auxiliary soldiers?
Yu Qiuping thought about it, and before he knew it, the army had already arrived at the edge of Fengmaichuan. The sun was west, and the auxiliary soldiers were complaining. Yu Qiuping looked at the sky and decided to camp on the spot.
·
Yu Qiuping planned to have a good night's rest tonight and enter Sanhe tomorrow. However, he never thought that an uninvited guest would be welcomed in the camp that night.
"Your Highness, you have a detailed work!" After the news, Xushan Xinshi walked into Yu Qiuping's tent with great strides.
"Fine work? So fast?" Yu Qiuping frowned, "Isn't this still in Weizhang's territory! Isn't the fine work of Yixiangzong so arrogant?"
"Yes, we have been surrounded outside the camp. Should you go and see?" Xushan Shinshi said with a wicked smile. Although Yu Qiuping noticed that Xushan Shinshi's smile seemed a little strange, he still followed him outside the camp.
I saw more than a dozen members of the horse riding team, led by Xiaobashi, dismounted and formed a circle, which seemed to have surrounded several people. After seeing Yu Qiuping coming, everyone consciously made a gap so that Yu Qiuping could see the situation in the circle.
I saw a woman in her twenties holding a spear in one hand and a swaddle in the other. The baby in the swaddle was crying loudly. Beside him, a man with more than a dozen feather arrows stuck all over his body, and there were several deep wounds on his body bleeding, and he saw that he could not survive.
"Isn't this a family of three?" Yu Qiuping suddenly became furious, "What are you doing? Why do you attack the family of three!"
"His highness, calm down!" Xiaobajiesheng explained hurriedly: "His highness! That man was not injured by us. He was already covered with scars when he rushed to our camp! We saw that they were unknown, so we surrounded them!"
"And that woman is very skilled!" Suishan Shinshi exclaimed, "Just watching them rush towards our camp with guns and horses, we shot the three of them to death! As a result, the woman actually jumped down with a flip, not only hugging the baby, but also catching his husband!"
However, before the Aishan Truthful Word finished, the woman holding the gun interrupted in a deep voice: "He is not my husband!"
"Who is he?" Maeda asked cross-expressed with a cigarette gun in his mouth, "Who are you?"
"What does this have to do with you?" The woman held the gun and gently turned sideways to protect the swaddle behind her.
"Now that this place is close to the war zone, we need to be vigilant for any stranger," Yu Qiuping explained as gentle as possible: "What's more, you rush to our camp with a gun and horse, threatening the safety of our army, so you must understand your identity clearly."
"What if I don't say it?" The woman frowned and turned her eyes to Yu Qiuping.
"If you don't say it, you can only take you down." Yu Qiuping whispered dissatisfiedly, "I don't have time to play this kind of plot in the drama with you. The safety of the whole army is the best!"
"Take it down! Ask it carefully!" Yu Qiuping waved his hand, and Xushan Shishi rushed up with a few people. Yu Qiuping thought he would see the woman being captured on the ground immediately, but he didn't expect the woman to be so powerful. He protected the baby with one hand and danced with a spear with the other, and Xushan Shishi and others couldn't get close to him for a long time.
"Qingji, can you take him?" Yu Qiuping felt a little funny about the scene in front of him. The big men of Aishan Shishishi and the others couldn't catch a woman.
"Yes," Maeda Keiji snorted coldly indifferently, "I just don't know if your Highness wants to die or live?"
"Of course I have to live, I'll ask you a good question." Yu Qiuping glared at Maeda Keiji with a angrily, "If I want to die, I will just call Charlie over. How can there be so many things?"
"Ah~~" After hearing this, Maeda Keiji looked at the woman first, and then looked at Yu Qiuping with a lustful and knowing look. "Does your highness want to live, and also want a weak woman, and then ask carefully at night?"
As soon as Maeda Keiji finished speaking, the riders of the cavalry team around him couldn't help laughing. Hoshiyama Shikimori shouted anxiously: "Qiji! What do you mean? I saw this woman first!"
"Shut up!" Yu Qiuping cursed angrily and amused: "I am the kind of lustful person? Even if it is, my wife is a hundred times better than her."
